The U87 MG-Red-FLuc Bioware® Brite Cell Line is a light-producing cell line derived from U87 MG-human glioblastoma. The cells have been stably transduced with the red-shifted firefly luciferase gene from Luciola Italica (Red-FLuc), for a brighter, red-shifted signal.

Organism: Human

Tissue: Brain

Disease: Glioblastoma

Optical Reporter: Red-FLuc

By emitting intensified, longer wavelength light that is significantly brighter than other firefly luciferases, our bioluminescent oncology cell lines allow you to visualize and monitor the growth of deep tissue tumors in vivo.

After the cells are injected into an appropriate mouse model, the optimized Red-FLuc luciferase enables more sensitive in vivo optical detection with less tissue attenuation so you can detect tumor development earlier, and monitor tumor growth and metastases in both subcutaneous and orthotopic models.
